NOTE 

This little volume of health thoughts is com- 
piled to emphasize to all who may read it the 
importance of right living, right thinking and 
right exercising. If we would keep the mind 
and body in a wholesome, healthy condition, 
we must follow Nature's laws — which are the 
simplest — and bear in mind always, that noth- 
ing is impossible to a vigorous, healthy body 
and a clear mind. 



'God made your body 

And He made it greats 
It has a guest of might 

And high estate ; 
Keep the shrine noble, 

Handsome, high and whole. 
For in it lives God*s guest, 

A kingly soul." 



Health 



HEALTH ! What a world of happiness or 
misery is expressed in that word. With 
it, all things are possible; — without it, the 
wealth of a king's domain is of little avail : — it 
is the foundation of your success and happiness 
in life — your capital in the bank of life — which 
repays you with big interest in later years for 
any effort you make to keep the principle in- 
tact. "In the degree that you abound in health 
and strength yourself, will you carry it to all 
with whom you come in contact." 

If you are negligent of your health, wasteful 
of your powers, and careless of the habits in 
life that make or destroy body and character, 
you make of yourself a useless ornament in 
the social world and cast a baneful influence 
around you. If you live a clean, upright, 
wholesome life, you wield a strong influence 
toward inducing others to do likewise. It is 
impossible to do your best for others, unless 
you do your best for yourself, so from a com- 
mercial standpoint, you cannot afford to disre- 
gard the laws of health. "Give to the world the 
best you have, and the best shall come back to 
you."

HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

"Your body is made up of two elements — 
power and form — and the proportion must in- 
variably be kept, if you would have it sweet 
and sound." It rests with you, whether the 
temple in which your soul abides shall be of 
stately and imposing build — one which is con- 
stantly growing in symmetrical architecture 
and beauty of design, or if it shall slowly but 
surely crumble away — like the ruins of a great 
city — after it is devastated by flood or fire. 

Wake up ! Keep your mind active and your 
vital forces strong and you can "move moun- 
tains". Your mental attitude toward things in 
life determines, to a great degree, the effect 
they have upon you, for "subtle and powerful, 
are the influences of the mind in the building 
and re-building of the body". The mind is 
everything! What you think, you in time be- 
come. "Sick thoughts and discordant moods 
are the natural atmosphere of disease." If 
you would be sure footed, you must be sure 
minded. 

Hopefulness, cheerfulness and tranquility 
open the channels of the body, so that the life 
forces go bounding through it with such vigor 
that disease cannot get a foothold. Courage is 
a great invigorator, and gives inspiration and 
tone to life. It is a courageous mind that 
makes the body rich in health and strength. 
"A falling state of mind produces a falling con- 
dition of the body", and in the degree that you 
8 



HEALTH 



keep healthy and young in thought, will you 
remain healthy and young in body. 

You cannot hope for your full share of health 
or beauty without taking proper care of your 
body, or without a certain amount of exercise 
in the open air daily. Sunshine and fresh air 
are as necessary to human life as to plants, for 
sunlight produces chemical changes in the 
blood, vitalizes the tissues, and tones up the 
whole system. 

Another great health producer is water, and 
plenty of it — internally and externally — for 
"cleanliness is next to godliness", and those 
words will apply to the inner organism, as well 
as to the outer body. 

Water forms a greater part of the body itself, 
and the life of all the tissues is dependent on its 
presence in them. "The well that is not fed by 
springs is sure to be a breeding place for dis- 
ease". Give your body proper nourishment, 
exercise, fresh air, sunlight and a daily bath — 
keep your mind free from "sick thoughts", and 
good health will be the result. 

"Then let your secret thoughts be fair, 

They have a vital part, and share 
• In shaping words and moulding fate ; 
God's system is so intricate."

Poise, 
Mental and Physical 



17 



? 



To be graceful of body, the mind must be 
cultivated by thought and study, as it is 
through that unseen instrument — the mind — 
that we reach the soul, so in order to be truly 
graceful, the movements of the body should be 
but the reflection of our inner-being. Did you 
ever see a graceful, well-poised person who had 
not corresponding traits in mind and soul ? 

To be mentally and physically strong, the 
mind and the body must be in a healthy con- 
dition and work in unison. Above all things, 
one must be well poised mentally. If you cul- 
tivate a calm mental poise, little things will not 
annoy or age you. To a certain extent, your 
health depends upon the poise of your mind; 
cheerful, hopeful thoughts put the mind in a 
relaxed, peaceful condition; disagreeable, pes- 
simistic thoughts put the nerves in a strained, 
unhealthy condition. "Inward repose must 
transform the outer life", — watch, then, to see 
that the body expresses the harmony between 
the mental, moral and physical being. 

Cultivate a graceful m.otion of the body and 
a wide-awake, energetic bearing. Carry your- 

19 



POISE: MENTAL AND PHYSICAL 

self erect, whether sitting, standing or walking; 
never allow your body to settle upon the bones, 
for the bony structure should not support the 
body, — that is the work of the muscles. In 
walking, carry the head erect, chest well for- 
ward and abdomen in. Carry the head so that 
you can at least look at things on a level, and 
look every one squarely in the face. Never look 
downward, mentally, morally, or physically, 
for 'tis "looking downward makes one dizzy." 
As Eben Holden said— try and look as though 
"you had bought and paid for yourself and 
were proud of the bargain." 

Your body is the mirror of your mind and 
the temple of your soul, and your eyes are the 
windows of the soul. Then give to the world 
bright eyes, shining with the knowledge of an 
inward strength, and a body reflecting a physi- 
cal and mental poise that is an inspiration to 
all who come in contact with it. 
"Let there be many windows in your soul. 
That all the glory of the universe may beau- 
tify it."

counts.

Breathing 



THE breath of life ! How much it means, 
and yet how little to most of us. One 
of the great essentials to good health is to 
know how to breathe properly. We see so 
many narrow-chested people going through 
the world, just sniffing at the fresh air in a 
stingy sort of way, never taking a breath that 
reaches lower than the first or second rib. 
What a pity, when all the fresh air in the world 
is ours just for the taking ! 

It is important to breathe through the nose, 
not through the mouth. Breathing through 
the mouth reaches only the bronchial tubes 
and pushes the air into the lungs; breathing 
through the nose pulls the air into the lungs, 
opens the air cells, and makes them stronger. 

Begin now and take all the fresh air you can 
get. Give your lungs a chance ! Breathe deeply 
and sleep with your windows open; night air 
will not hurt you any more than the fresh air 
that you breathe during the waking hours. Be- 
gin each day, by taking fifteen or twenty deep 
breaths of fresh air at an open window or door, 
immediately upon arising ; it is a splendid tonic 
to start the new day with, and not only 
strengthens and develops the chest and lungs, 
29 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

but helps to purify the blood and the entire 
system. An abundance of fresh air is neces- 
sary to health, strength and beauty. 

Deep breathing will tone up the nerves, and 
give a better circulation ; it will make the com- 
plexion clearer, the eyes brighter and the lungs 
stronger. If people would breathe more, there 
would be fewer pulmonary disorders. "Eat 
plenty of air", and drink freely of water 
and you will find that colds and catarrhal trou- 
bles will gradually disappear. If a cold asserts 
itself, begin at once to breathe deeply, taking 
all the air into the lungs that they will hold, ex- 
pelling, and then breathing deeply and freely 
again, until at least twenty full breaths have 
been taken ; drink copiously of cold water, and 
in nine cases out of ten. Nature will do the 
rest.

How to Get Fat 



MANY times it is as hard to take on flesh 
as it is to reduce it. First, locate the I 

cause of the leanness and then remove it by 
hygienic methods. i 

Lack of flesh may be due to various condi- j 

tions or reasons, and it is useless to try to rem- | 

edy the leanness as long as the cause is oper- j 

ating. j 

Poor digestion, or mal-assimilation of one's j 

food, as often as any other cause, interferes j 

with the accumulation of flesh ; overw^ork or too j 

much nerve tension may be productive of thin- j 

ness; improper diet, or a weakness of some of j 

the vital organs; — all of these things keep one 
from building up and putting on flesh. 

The diet of a thin person should consist of 
carefully selected foods that tend to produce 
fat; remember, it is not the amount of food 
eaten, but the amount digested, that furnishes 
the nourishment for the body. 

Systematic exercise should be taken every 
day, if only for five minutes, especially such ex- 
ercises as reach and strengthen the digestive 
organs, giving them a regular internal massage. 

Deep breathing aids digestion and strength- 
ens the stomach. 

39 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

But above all — learn to let go ! Get the ten- 
sion out of your body, and relax mentally and 
physically, for no matter how well you care for 
the body, if you keep yourself keyed up to a 
high nervous pitch, and worry, fret and fume 
over the trivial things in life, you will destroy 
the good effect of any thing you may do for 
your body. 

"Physical health without a restful state of 
mind is an impossibility" and "cheerfulness is, 
to every nerve, what sunshine is to the plant". 
So keep the mind in a sunshiny condition. In 
other words, — laugh and grow fat !

Worry 



^^TTTORRY is the most popular form of 
▼ V suicide" — so do not magnify the 
petty annoyances of life. If there are any real 
troubles or worries, always remember that 
"The darkest day, live till to-morrow, will have 
passed away". In order to meet life's work 
successfully you must cultivate a hopeful dis- 
position, a heart courageous and self-confi- 
dence. Have faith in yourself and you will 
conquer all obstacles. Worry, doubts and fears 
are stumbling-blocks in the pathway to suc- 
cess. Worry weakens the vital forces, and 
ruins health and beauty ; it adds fuel to the fire 
of your temper, and will disfigure your face 
with untimely lines. 

"Worry is a state of spiritual corrosion; a 
trouble either can be remedied, or it cannot be. 
If it can be, then set about it; if it cannot be, 
dismiss it from consciousness, or bear it so 
bravely that it may become transfigured into 
a blessing". The habit of worrying grows 
upon you, and it must be looked upon as a dis- 
ease; it is life's daily habits that affect you 
most, and your habits of thought need constant 
vigilance. Call a halt occasionally and have a 
general "weeding-out" time; clear the mind of 
49

all unwholesome, pessimistic thoughts and re- 
place them with hopeful, cheerful ones. Just 
try it — you who have formed the habit of wor- 
rying over trifles — and see what a brighter, 
happier, more cheerful world yours will be. 

"Some of your griefs you have cured. 

And the sharpest you still have survived ; 
But what torments of pain you endured 
From evils that never arrived."

Beauty 



"T^EAUTY is divine and is a gift direct 

-D from God." It is a fact not to be dis- 
puted, that beauty is power, but there are as 
many degrees of beauty as there are of natures, 
and true beauty must be reflected from within, 
as well as being apparent from without, for the 
face is the reflection of the inner-life. 

Socrates called beauty "a short-lived tyr- 
anny"; Plato "A privilege of Nature"; while 
Aristotle affirmed that "beauty was better than 
all the letters of recommendation in the world". 
No doubt they were all correct in their opin- 
ions. Beauty is surely a woman's heritage and 
its mystic power rules the universe. 

Beauty of face can be bought by paying the 
price for it — namely — by learning and prac- 
ticing the philosophy of goodness, happiness 
and contentment, giving out smiles in place of 
frowns — good cheer in place of discourage- 
ment, and cultivating all of the characteristics 
that are essential to "evolve the wonderful soul 
design that lies folded within each of us." 

If nature has not given you beauty as a nat- 
ural heritage, it is your own fault if you do not 
create a beauty all your own. Individuality is 
the soul of beauty, and it is foolish to copy by 
59 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

artificial means that belonging to another — "be 
yourself, never imitate." 

There is no beautifier more powerful than a 
genuine interest in something. Put your heart 
and soul into work of some kind, giving it all 
the enthusiasm that your nature is capable of, 
and note the effect it produces in the expression 
of your face and character of your features. 
Every quality of the mind is expressed in the 
face, whether it be hopefulness, enthusiasm, 
good cheer, harmony, purity, health — or the 
lack of these things. 

The body is but an outward expression of 
our spiritual self, and is either formed or de- 
formed by our thought-world. 

"It doth not yet appear what we shall be", 
but much of our beauty — mental, physical or 
moral — lies in our own hands. "We are fear- 
fully and wonderfully made" and as the sculp- 
tor deftly carves a beautiful statue from a block 
of marble, so will the habit of "bright thinking" 
mould an expression of face which is divinely 
fair.

Self-Possession 



To be successful, a person must be self- 
poised, and to be self-poised one must 
have the balancing power of thought, which 
brings poise and even strength. 

It is an erroneous belief that the constant 
use of the brain is destructive of physical 
strength, for men of thought and mental force 
have invariably been distinguished for lon- 
gevity of life. The great problem of to-day is — 
how best to conserve our forces, mental and 
physical — to get the best results. 

There is such mental confusion everywhere ! 
We are living in an age of wonderful inven- 
tions, great discoveries, new thoughts, and un- 
restricted impressions; the world is literally 
torn up with new ideas and suggestions, each 
one contradicting the other. Is it any wonder 
that our minds are confused and bewildered, 
and that we lack the balancing power of 
thought which brings self-poise, strength and 
longevity ? 

Be thou but self-possessed 
And thou hast the art of living. 

— -Goethe.

Exercise 



DAILY exercise is an important factor in 
life, in order to secure a healthy action 
of the nerves, for the nerves control all move- 
ments of the body. Proper exercise, giving the 
right amount of pressure and strain, is neces- 
sary, that all the muscles of the body may be- 
come strong and healthy, but one should never 
exercise until the vital forces of the body are 
used up in muscular action. 

A very small percentage of women possess 
the suppleness, strength and beauty of form, 
which is theirs by right, if they will take the 
amount of exercise necessary to round out the 
curves and angles. 

Exercise helps to keep the body young and 
symmetrical; it is the lubricating oil for 
stiff joints and unused muscles. Frequent ex- 
ercise of the muscles quickens the flow of blood 
in the veins, and helps to strengthen the heart 
action; and well directed exercises will relieve 
the heart of much hard labor. 

Few women are courageous enough to dis- 
cipline their bodies that they may be symmetri- 
cal in figure and graceful in carriage; few in- 
deed, appreciate the fact that grace of move- 
ment not only helps to maintain health, but to 

regain it, if lost.

Obesity: 
Cause and Cure 



Too much flesh is caused by the mal~ 
assimilation of one's food, whereby fat 
accumulates in and between the tissues, instead 
of being consumed in the body as it should be 
to supply strength, activity and heat. 

One great cause of obesity is over-eating; 
another cause is too little exercise of the right 
kind. 

Exercises should be carefully directed and 
executed, so they will reach the parts that have 
become overgrown or out of proportion, for 
good results cannot be obtained by careless, 
promiscuous work. 

Any one who really desires to get rid of su- 
perfluous flesh can do so if they will adopt a 
regular code of exercise and be careful about 
eating foods that create fat. 

Don't let "fatty inertia" keep you from ex- 
ercising sufficiently each day to stimulate the 
body to activity and energy. 

Get yourself out of the sluggish habits that 
breed fat. Start each new day with the deter- 
mination that you will not be tied down to 
earth by clod upon clod of fatty tissue. 

Try a little sensible fasting — reduce the 
quantity of your food to one-third the usual 

89 



y^^ 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

amount at each meal, or leave out one meal 
daily. You will be surprised how little food is 
needed, not only to maintain your strength, but 
increase it. Nothing so quickly clears the com- 
plexion, brightens the eyes, and tones up the 
whole system, as a little judicious fasting. 

In your diet avoid sweets, starches and fats, 
and avoid all stimulants; use no coffee, fresh 
bread or potatoes, and do not drink water ex- 
cept between meals. 

One of the world's most noted scientists says 
that "the entire human structure can be' com- 
pletely changed, made over, within a period of 
less than a year, and that some portions can 
be entirely remade within a period of a very 
few weeks." 

Six weeks of systematic and persistent exer- 
cising, careful dieting and proper bathing will 
produce most gratifying results — try it !

Foods 



IF we understood more thoroughly the me- 
dicinal value of foods, we could many- 
times use them for physical ills. For exam- 
ple: spinach and dandelion are good for the 
kidneys, celery is good for nervous disorders, 
rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous dyspepsia; 
while lettuce has often relieved insomnia. As- 
paragus has a tendency to induce perspiration 
and relieve the system of impurities. Tom.atoes 
contain vegetable calomel and are good in some 
cases for liver troubles as also is parsley. But 
at the head of the list, for curative properties, 
stands the humble onion, and in no well-reg- 
ulated household should they be absent from 
the table more than one day in the week. If 
eaten every day, they have a remarkable whit- 
ening effect upon the complexion. Pieplant is 
excellent for purifying the blood, and figs as a 
food for a sluggish condition of the system. 

It is impossible to prescribe a full diet for 
general use, without knowing existing condi- 
tions. Exercise care in diet, avoid rich pas- 
tries and all foods which disagree with you 
when in good health. Eat regularly and do no 
mental or laborious work immediately after 
eating, for this is the time when the stomach 
99

requires the blood to assist in the process of 
digestion. 

If the digestive organs are working properly, 
the brain and nerves will be supplied with the 
pure blood necessary to keep them healthy and 
strong, — and a good digestion goes a long way 
toward making a cheerful, happy life and a de- 
sirable old age. 

Dr. E. H. Dewey says, "Take away food 
from a sick man's stomach and you have be- 
gun, not to starve the sick man, but the dis- 
ease." 

Dr. Nicholas Senn, one of Chicago's leading 
surgeons, says: "The average person eats too 
much. Simple living and plain food and a re- 
turn to the life of fifty years ago would rob 
the grave of a hundred thousand victims an- 
nually. People must walk and breathe fresh 
air, or they will stagnate and die.'*

Complexion 



j£i^^^^^^aBUiia<dki^ 



MOST of our famous beauties have been 
noted for the brilliancy of their com- 
plexions. There is always a distinct charm 
about a clear, smooth, delicately tinted skin, 
and no woman should submit to a dull, muddy, 
lifeless complexion, while the means to a 
fairer one lies in her own hands. Pure blood 
and health are the first requisites of a good 
complexion. Ruskin tells us that "Among all 
fine arts, one of the finest is that of painting 
the cheeks with health". We must work from 
within as well as from without to remove the 
constitutional causes of a poor complexion. 

If the skin is coarse grained or full of large 
pores, it will give a rough, coarse appearance 
to any face. Coarse pores, pimples, blackheads, 
etc., are caused by impurities in the system; 
these impurities can be removed by careful 
dieting and systematic exercising. 

A clear skin, of good color and firm texture, 
is the result of free breathing, a good digestion, 
perfect circulation, strong nerves and good 
powers of secretion and elimination. 

Flabby, wrinkled skin and a sallow com- 
plexion will disappear under proper exercise, 
diet and fresh air. 

Don't shorten your sleeping hours, for every 
hour that you take from sleep that is needed, 
109 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

is that much taken from your life-forces. Sleep 
and plenty of it is necessary to keep your 
health, strength and vitality at its best. 

Masticate your food thoroughly, as this 
habit lessens the work of the stomach, helps 
digestion and gives perfect assimilation of nu- 
triment. Last, but not least, remember that a 
daily bath promotes health, strength and 
beauty. If the body is properly taken care of 
it will defy wrinkles and other marks of old 
age. 

A simple remedy for toning up the skin is a 
few drops of lemon juice added occasionally to 
the water in which the face is bathed. Oat- 
meal, also, has great value as a toilet adjunct. 
A little muslin bag filled with oatmeal and put 
into the bathing water each day will be found 
excellent for softening the skin of the face ; re- 
new the oatmeal every few days. 

The pores of the skin should be kept open 
so the waste matter will be carried off. 

Rose water, diluted with the pure tincture of 
benzoin, whitens the skin wonderfully and is 
an excellent astringent to ward off wrinkles. 

For blackheads, wash the face night and 
morning with water, warm as it can be borne, 
then bathe face for ten minutes in tepid 
milk with a very soft sponge. Continue the 
treatment for a month and you will note a 
gratifying improvement in the skin.

Life is 
What we Make It 



•m^ 



mtmmk 



DON'T begin another day, week or year 
with the Parasite of Pessimism in your 
system. Work overtime, if necessary, to get 
a few rays of sunshine into your own life — and 
into the Hves of others. 

Pessimism is a mental disease and is far 
more contagious and harmful than any physi- 
cal ailment on the calendar of human ills. Most 
physical ills may be overcome, but the effect of 
pessimistic thoughts breathed into your sys- 
tem day after day cannot fail to leave their 
imprint on even the most sunny disposition — 
oftentimes an imprint which Nature with all 
her beauty, charms and loveliness cannot 
efface. 

It is as detrimental to live in an atmosphere 
of unhealthy thoughts and pessimistic views 
as it is to live in a damp, unventilated cellar, 
where God's sunshine never has a chance to 
get in at any of the crevices in the wall — or to 
remove the mildew and mould that has gath- 
ered there. 

Open the windows of your heart and soul 
and let a little sunshine in — and out — the world 
will look like a different place to you. 
119 



HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY 

Be optimistic ! It doesn't cost any more, and 
it makes you and every one around you hap- 
pier. Give out what you want to get back, 
and you will get it — with a hundred per cent 
interest added in the joy you will get from just 
living.

LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT 

It's little things that make us pessimistic, 
We bubble up with hatred all supreme ; 

We face the world in attitude that's fistic. 
And swear that life is but a ribald dream. 

It's little things that make us optimistic. 
We wake up in the morning full of joy ; 

We find the world is good and altruistic 
And every nugget shines without alloy. 

Some people think they live by just existing. 

They never see the grandeur of the sky ; 
They spend three-fourths of life in mere en- 
cysting. 

And then some day they lie in bed and die. 

And men there are who live in criticising, 
They like to see you wince beneath the blow ; 

Their chiefest joy on earth is minimizing — 
They never see the good things as they go. 
120 



LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT 

And thus we pass in life with dual feelings; 

We never try to find things as they are ; 
While some men try to win by crooked deal- 
ings, 

Still others hitch their wagons to a star. 

Don't aim to go through life by always shov- 
ing, 
Don't try to push the other man away; 
But try sometime, just try to be more loving 
In dealing with your fellows day by day. 
— Edwin C. Ranck.
